FWIW a member in my local forum totalled a 2000 s2k in mint condition with 115k on it and the ins co gave him 10,500 for it. So given the lower miles i would say your in the ballpark. But im positive some will argue that still too much.

you could prolly drop that to 12 or 11.5, but if its in great condition, its not a rip off

You might get a bunch of people saying that's way too high but just take in the fact that they might be in different areas and their idea of "mint" "good" "whatever" condition might be completely different from yours. Use KBB, NADA, other local S2000's and just your best judgement and you'll be set.

Its on the high side, $11.5k OTD and you're good to go. But ultimately it depends on how long you're willing to look around for a deal. Patience is key, I waited 6 months to get mine back in '07.

A well maintained S2000 for $12,000 with low miles....That's a great sports car deal. Sad our cars are worth so little though.
